| Summary | The period from the mid-6th to mid-4th mill BC in Central and North-Western Europe witnessed important social and economic changes. The establishment of cereal cultivation and animal husbandry were accompanied by profound social and ideological transformations of human societies. This course examines the evidence pertinent to this important evolutionary change in European prehistory and investigates the extensive cultural patterns which transcend modern cultural boundaries, and which created conditions for all subsequent cultural developments in Europe. |
